Another swell in the storm. Remember your personal goals, and don't get distracted by irrelevant what ifs. We will have everything we need. Everything.
*******************
This applied for me two ways, today.
I did a house cleansing for a friend today. I do them occasionally, but not so often that I have a definite prep & pack routine. So, naturally, I found myself wanting to run around grabbing and buying and scouring for things I MIGHT need for the cleansing.
In that situation, Naihwaz definately meant "you will have what you need; if you don't have it you won't need it."
Now, when you're working off-site, that can still be tricky. Because you have to listen, when going through the supplies, to yourself. You do have to have enough items, the right items: scent, stone, herb, pen, ruler, paper, clay, whatever... when you travel away from your storage space, you have to make choices about what to take with you. So one must listen.
But, one listens with intent and consciousness, NOT with grabbing everything in sight "Just in case". And still, there's most likely going to be a "oh, I wish I'd grabbed..." So one makes do.
Which leads us to the part two of my Naihwaz today... afterward. "Don't get distracted by irrelevant what ifs." It is so easy, after doing any work, to devalue all I've done by judging and critiquing and "Oh, I should have." This is harmful, to self and to all those who've participated in, or benefited from, the work. There is a difference between thinking, "next time, I would like to try this" and "Oh, I should have done this." The should haves are irrelevant. The past is.
So. Coming and going, Naihwaz helped me through something I enjoy doing, but can easily ruin for myself by panic before and judgement behind.
Thank you, Naihwaz. *G*
I hope you have a great day!
